Rim to Rim Grand Canyon Scrapbook Layout

I really like how this Grand Canyon (Rim to Rim!) page layout turned out.

I ripped and layered Creative Memories card stock paper for the layered background effect. 

I added a white journal block on the left side where I can write the story.

This definitely is an adventure worth documenting!

Solid Core Card Stock can be found on my website:

Masculine Scrapbook Ideas

Have you been looking for some ideas for the men in your life?

Creative Memories new Genuine collection is inspired by traditional menswear fabrics, tailor-made textiles and rugged, natural elements.

For the first time ever, CM came out with a 12x12 Heathered Tweed Album Cover (Made in USA!)

And this 12x12 Navy "Genuine" Album in bookcloth (Made in the U.S.A.)

Here are the album covers next to each other:

As with most of Creative Memories albums, you can choose your Refill Pages

(all Refill Pages come with Page Protectors and are Made in U.S.A.)

White Refills

Spargo Refills

Natural Refills

Black Refills

Fast2Fab Refills (pre-designed)

Fast2Fab Pages are so easy because they are already decorated - you just add your photos!  You can also add additional Stickers or Embellishments just like plain pages but how creative you want to get is totally up to you:

Creative Memories Genuine Collection has lots of masculine elements to choose from to get as creative as you like:

Genuine Paper Pack

Genuine Mat Pack 

(Made in U.S.A.)

I just love these rich, earthy colors!

Genuine Sticker Pack (Made in U.S.A.)

and Embellishments Pack (Made in China):

The laser cut Embellishments Kit comes with all these:

Here's what one of them looks like on a page

paired with a sticker:

If you have the Border Maker Tool, the Timeless Tweed Cartridge is perfectly suited for your masculine layouts (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun)....

 

If you would like to shop for this Collection, or any other Scrapbooks or supplies, I hope you visit my website here:

I hope you like these ideas for your scrapbook!

Travel Log Collection by Creative Memories

  I'm so excited about Creative Memories new Travel Collection!

The Airplane Punch is soo cool!

It will inspire so many layouts from travel to military and more!

CM Tools and Punches are not wimpy tools. 

They are designed to withstand years of use!

I especially love our Border Punches like this Cityscape Border Punch

You can control how long your border is

so if you want just a little bit for card making or if you want a 12-inch border strip or more

you're in control

It cuts through our Cardstock beautifully!

If you are using thinner designer paper, I recommend cutting through 2 sheets at a time.

Check out the entire Travel Log collection in the video (below) 

Album, Pages, Paper, Stickers, Pockets, Embellishments, etc 

Order from my website if you don't already have a CM Advisor:
